(Kiwi Trains, Auckland, New Zealand) - 3D Printable Scale Model NZR & Kiwirail Trains.
Designs printed in typically 1:120/NZ120 Scale, although recently 1:24 has taken over.. This is a Blog to document 3D Printing New Zealand trains & the journey to build the most complete train set. Everything I design for NZ120 is available to buy at http://www.shapeways.com/shops/kiwitrains
For more info on NZ120 visit the forum http://nz120.org

The pistons are placed 2mm away from the chassis on both sides, to allow the thicker rods to move freely

No ashpan or firebox, the space will be taken up by an electric motor & worm

Easter Friday lineup Wanted to see the 1:24 Pecket, F & Ja in a line for size comparison photoshoot.

1:24 Ja, F & Peckett, A much better comparison photo, tender hasn't fallen off the track in this pic.

1:24 Pecket & F, easily transportable size

1:24 Pecket & F negotiating 1 of the 10 promised bridges northland will receive. Admittedly its built of meccano but remains within budget.

The bridges will be a shared rail & 1 road lane, thus fixing whatever the issue is with the current bridges. The bridge won't fit a 1:24 DL class or even a high cube container, but that's a problem for tomorrow.
